    Dear members:

    Does anyone heard something about this?...

    EL SALVADOR
    * 10 Illnesses Linked to Red Tide Outbreak
    On September 25, health officials in El Salvador said an outbreak of Red
    Tide was being blamed for the sickening of 10 people. Investigators linked
    the infections to the consumption of contaminated seafood harvested from
    water between La Libertad and the southeast of San Salvador. On September
    7, health officials in Costa Rica reported red tide had sickened 51 people
    there (see 9/10/2001 PIB). The algae, which originated on the Pacific coast
    of Costa Rica, was reported to have proliferated and spread to the coast of
    Guatemala and El Salvador.

    Is there any confirmation?..

    Regards,
